Pediatric Prosthetics Inc. is the national provider of specialized pediatric prosthetics for both upper and lower limbs. The Company's CEO Linda Putback-Bean pioneered fitting state-of-the-art myoelectric upper extremity prostheses for the pediatric niche market. In the absence of a hand or arm, a child's brain still continues sending signals to grasp or open the hand in the residual limb. Myoelectric sensors can read those signals through the skin, (requiring no surgery), and with a computer chip can magnify those signals many fold to actuate a tiny powerful motor to accomplish tasks with the life-like hand. In 2003, Ms. Putback-Bean founded Pediatric Prosthetics to create a comprehensive organization that connects parents and their children with a limb loss, to expert pediatric prosthetic fitting, rehabilitation, and life-long care. As a result, Pediatric Prosthetics hopes to increase the quality of life for patients and their families nationwide.
